Sigh… A one day protest on a Saturday where the vast majority of participants either already had the day off or requested it from their employer is in no way a strike. It’s a large protest and an important event, but it’s just not a strike.

It’s like the actual concept of a strike is being erased from the public consciousness. Strikes don’t have a fixed duration, they have a list of demands, and the strike goes on until those demands are met or the strikers capitulate.

A bunch of Minnesotans taking a day off work to protest sends a strong message and mildly inconveniences businesses.

A bunch of Minnesotans saying “we’re not going back to work until ICE is out of our state” is what an actual general strike would look like. It would be hugely powerful if strikers held fast, but it would also be incredibly hard to organize and pull off, because you’re basically asking large numbers of people to be willing to get fired.

I’m not trying to downplay what’s going on in Minnesota - it’s good and important, but it saddens me to see people calling this a general strike. A general strike is the ultimate weapon of the working class. Calling a mass protest a general strike feels like saying “this is the best we can do,” and it absolutely is not.

I can’t help you much as I have a 6600XT, but I can say this is probably the wrong community to get that help. It’s not likely KDE-related.

Before going back to windows, I would boot up an arch-based live iso to see if newer drivers cleared up your problem. I use EndeavourOS, and that has a graphical live environment and should give you a good idea whether your card is working or not. Good luck!

Made a dark loaf using a rye sourdough starter, bread flour, and cocoa powder for color. Pretty happy with the result!

Planning to make it for thanksgiving instead of rolls, so I did a practice loaf. Turned out great!

 

Grilled some chicken breasts and thighs, finishing with a sear on my lodge double Dutch oven lid.

Seasoned with Trader Joe’s chili lime seasoning (which is also fantastic on shrimp).

In its current state? Not unless it gets heavily marked down (KSP2 does have better tutorials and a more accessible progression system).

With the studio being shut down, it’s likely that what we have now is all we’re getting.

 

Filet mignon in cast iron and ribeye in carbon steel. Dry brined for one day, cooked in avocado oil, basted in ghee and garlic, and finished with a little cracked pepper.
